Which Bands Think Pigs Say 'Woof'?

by Shan Phillips

You've seen us on Warped Tour, Rock the Bells, and the Mayhem Fest all summer—with clipboards in hand and asking showgoers to sign our petition that asks for pigs to have the same legal protection that dogs have. So what's up with that pig who's saying "Woof" anyway?

With the Woof! campaign, we're just trying to show that the only difference between pigs and dogs is the way that we treat them.

OK, so pigs say "Oink" and dogs say "Woof," but that's about the only difference. That's why we want pigs to be given the same legal protection that dogs have. Pigs are intelligent animals—even more so than the dogs we call "pets"—yet some people still call pigs "dinner."

If pigs can feel pain just as people can—and they're more intelligent than Rover is—then why are they still treated so differently? If you agree that pigs deserve as much legal protection as our canine friends, then join the growing list of artists—including Alkaline Trio, A Day to Remember, Say Anything, My Morning Jacket, Story of the Year, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Valencia, TAT, As I Lay Dying, All That Remains, The Pinker Tones, Longway, Ludo, The Human Abstract, and Last Try—who have signed a petition to help pigs get legal recognition.
